An INTERESTING POINT IN CONTROVERSY.
The attorney for the District has been requested
by Chief Roome Of the special assessment division
to decide an interesting point OF law In relation to
a certain tax matter. Some time ago John F.
Olmstead offered to pay certain assessments for
special Improvements on some property belonging
to Mr.. Hallet Kilbourn on Rhode Island avenue
with interest from July 2, 1885, the date OF the
issue OF the lien certificate. This offer was de-
clned, because the assessment was made I'm 1876
revised under acts OF 1873 and 1879, and a Lien
certificate issued therefor to the United States
Treasurer, bearing interest from October p, 1876
and it is not apparent, therefore, that he should
be allowed to pay less than the interest charged
in the blu.
To this Mr.. Olmstead replied, stating that the
assessment was without authority OF Law, and fur
thermOre interest can only be charged on legal as
sessmentS from the date OF issuance OF the lien
certificate, and that they draw interest from the
date Of issuance.
Chief RoOme in his communication to the Com
mtSsiOnerS upon the above, stated that interest
can be charged from the date OF actual issue of the
lien certificate and NO more. He says that IL Mr.
OlmSteAds argument upon this point be sustained
1t viii be necessary to change the date OF interest
In nearly all outstanding claims ut is matter
OF history, writes Chief Rooma ''that the assess
ments were found 50 excessive that the further
issue OF liens was suspended until such time the
revision OF the assessments should be completed"
